Month: September 2012

It’s been a couple of weeks since I last posted about my progress on Mirabilia’s August Fairy. So here is where I am at:

I am really enjoying stitching on this one even though I have had many frogs visit. The last week has been much better as my mind is more at ease. The colors are just beautiful on this piece, but there is a lot of black. I know it will be beautiful when it’s done and my Mom will love it. Thanks for stopping by to see what I have been up to. Have a great day and happy stitching.

I ordered these fabrics from Picture This Plus during their 25% off sale in July. They are so BEAUTIFUL!! They are all 16ct-my favorite fabby to stitch on. And all of the edges were serged for me so they are all ready to go when I decided what I want to put on them. Isn’t that awesome? And each fabric was tagged with the name of the color, the count, the dimensions and the cost. I am so impressed. This is my first time ordering from them and I was quite pleased. A bit anxious waiting the 6 weeks to get them because of their huge sale, but well worth the wait. I will be ordering from them again in the future. Now to decide what to stitch on them…

While re-organizing my cross stitch patterns and going through bins of “stash” last weekend, I came across this:

This is the left panel of a 5 panel nativity scene that I started back in 1993. WOW! I remember that I had to do this piece twice. I chose some fabric to do this shepherd boy on and when I went back to get more fabric for the next piece, that fabric had been discontinued. WHAT?? So I purchased all of the fabric for all 5 panels, all of the krenik threads and specialty threads all at once. And here it is 18 years later and I still don’t have all of it finished. I do have 2 other panels finished:

I loved stitching this one. All of those different threads. And just look at those little tassels! So cute! And this next piece I finished about 3 years ago:

This is a nice colorful piece and I love the angel. I just hope that when I get it finished (and I will get it finished) that the special frame kit will still be available. When I finished the angel piece above, I was told at my LNS that she could still get the frame kit. Another project on my long list of projects to finish.

Kathy just finished stitching on my Round Robin and posted this photo:

Isn’t it just beautiful? I am so geeked about my first Round Robin. One more block to be stitched by Linda and then she will be on her way home to me. I can’t wait to see it in person. I sent it off in January 2012 to be stitched by 7 wonderful stitchers from around the world and it should be returning to me around November. I just melt every time I look at it. I know that it is sparkly and shimmery with all the metallic threads and beading. Everyone has done an awesome job stitching on this one for me. And I know that Linda will do an awesome job on the last fairy too and can’t wait to see her contribution . I will be sure to post here when I get it back .

I finished my block on Erin’s Round Robin this last week and thought I would share with you what I did:

Her theme is Roses and she picked the patterns that she wanted and chose the portions of the pattern that she wanted stitched. I like that. Made it super simple for me. I chose “The Kiss” and I think it turned out lovely. Here is her Round Robin so far:

A very unique piece. Can’t wait to see how it turns out when the last 2 blocks are stitched.

My Round Robin piece is coming along so beautifully! I will try to get a picture and post it here so that you can see. Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by to see what I have been up to.
